1 8 SIXTY SECONDS (CB177) C K Tong -- 8Ls off pace and 2-wide in 8th at 1100 M, 7Ls behind in 8th and 3-wide off final bend, 4Ls down out wide in midfield at 200 M, kept on well closing stages, led on line.
2 5 GOLD FIELD (CC096) W Woods B- Switched from widest gate to fence upon exiting, 9Ls behind in 9th or 10th from 1100 M to home straight, staying on when 4Ls down at 200 M, kept on well to lead 50 M out, pipped on the line.
3 6 HIGHLAND DAWN (CC138) M Rodd B On fence 6Ls off pace in 5th at 1100 M, 7Ls down at 800 M, 6Ls down in 5th off home turn, 3Ls down in 5th at 200 M, stayed on well but found quinella pair a shade too strong.
4 3 NORTHERN ROSE (CC268) P Payne SR 4Ls off pace in 3rd on fence at 1100 M, same turning for home, picked up only steadily to lead 100 M out, grabbed 50 M out and quickly missed out on a place.
5 7 LUCKY SUPERSTAR (CA270) T Mundry TT1 Slowly away, 12Ls off pace on fence in rear at 1100 M, much the same off home turn, 5Ls down in 11th at the 200 M, kept on strongly, nearest at the finish.
6 9 MR BEAUTIFUL (CB057) B Doyle -- 2-wide and 9Ls off the speed in 10th at 1100 M, 8Ls down on the swing, still worse than midfield when 4Ls behind at 200 M, ran on okay without troubling principals.
7 10 TOUCH DOWN (CB013) C Williams TT Steadied at start, on fence 8Ls off the pace in 7th at 1100 M, similarly placed off home turn, making some late headway when briefly steadied 250 M out, kept on fairly, never nearer.
8 4 PHOENIX FORTUNE (CD122) R Fradd -- 2-wide when 5Ls off speed in 4th at 1100 M, 6Ls down in 4th at 800 M, 5Ls down in 5th entering straight and with place prospects when less than 3Ls 4th at 200 M, one-paced thereafter.
9 1 SUNRISE RAINBOW (CD209) D Whyte SR 6Ls off pace in 6th when 2-wide at 1100 M, under pressure to take closer order on straightening, 2Ls down in 3rd at the 200 M, very one-paced from then on.
10 11 JUST VICTORY (CB216) S Dye SR Led early on fence, headed marginally by AURELIAN as they went a good pace from 1200 M to 600 M, 2Ls clear off home turn, still 1L to the good at 200 M, swamped inside final 100 M.
11 2 AURELIAN (CC025) H W Lai B Raced freely disputing lead out 3-wide at 1200 M, a neck in front out 2-wide at 1100 M, continued to over-race until 600 M, ceded advantage on circle, a tired 2nd off home turn, faded out.
12 12 BARRACUDA (CB320) G Schofield B Never in the hunt, never better than one from rear at any stage or closer than about 8Ls off the pace.
